What would you do

[Haichan]

Well second live tourny of recent time where I was card dead. its day 2 of the Dusk til Dawn Grand Prix. 400 odd left in and blinds at 1500/3000. I'm on 120k. Chip leader 600k. First 2 hours nothing. Table is mainly limping apart from guy to my right who is sat on about 500k. calling with lots of rubbish and hitting. Yet to see him bluff. Finally with around 110k and blinds up to 2500/5000, 500anti. I get 10/10 in early position. Raise 11500 and everyone folds except guy to my right who is in big blind. As usual he calls. Flop is KJ8 rainbow. He checks, I check. turn is another 8. Around 28k in pot. I raise 16k and he immedietly raises to 36k. So I either shove or fold. The problem is he is highly likely to be sat on an 8 or a j. After a lot of thought I fold and he shows 4,2 off. At the break I see the payout structure. I am already guarenteed £250 and the raises in payout are only £50 every 150 players until 30 left. If i had seen that at the time I would probably have shoved on him. I last another 30 mins and then get AK and shove on a mid position raiser who shows QQ which hold up. Out in 283. I still think folding the 10/10's was probably the right move but would welcome any views.

I think you should not have checked after the flop, it showed potential weakness. Especially when he has the option first and checked.
